Well, calculating your footprint is not easy. You actually have to do it with a specialized company that will collect information about the amount of garbage you produce, the electric devices you use, the type of food you ingest, among other things.

If you want to have a closer idea of how your acts reflect themselves on the planet Earth you should consult some certified websites that, with the help of short quizzes and questions, will define your footprint based on your lifestyle.

How can you calculate your footprint?

Your magazine recommends:

Global Footprint Network’s website - http://footprintnetwork.org/

WWF’s website - http://www.wwf.org.uk/

China is one of the biggest producers in the world as well as one of the countries which hasone of the biggest footprints. If all countries in the world sustained a lifestyle like the chinese population, one planet Earth would only have resources to sustain humanity for more 25 years.

But china is not the only sinner… WATCH!
